2. Insert the two screws provided and secure the mounting
plate to the wall or ceiling surface. (If mounting in
plasterboard or drywall, drill a 3/16 in. hole and use the
plastic anchors provided.)
3. After the mounting plate is secured, slide the alarm over
the mounting plate (see Figure 4 on page 2).
Important labels provided
Two labels have been provided that have important information
on what to do in case of an alarm. Add the phone number of
your emergency service provider in the space provided. Place
one label next to the alarm after it is mounted, and one label
near a fresh air source such as a door or window.
Programming
The following section provides a general guideline for
programming (learning) the unit into control panel memory.
Refer to the panel documentation for complete programming
details.
To add the CO alarm to panel memory:
1. Set the panel to program mode.
2. Proceed to the Learn/Add Sensors menu.
3. Select the desired sensor number.
4. Trip the wall tamper by removing the alarm body from the
mounting plate.
5. When the panel prompts you for sensor group number,
enter the appropriate group number based on the system
panel.
6. At the panel, exit program mode.
7. Place the alarm body back onto the mounting plate.
Note:
Each CO alarm is programmed with a unique ID when
manufactured. The unique ID is enrolled into the control panel
at the time of installation, allowing the CO alarm to
communicate with that specific control panel.
Testing
Note:
This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable.
WARNING:
The control panel must be placed into sensor test
mode while conducting any tests. Placing the control panel into
sensor test mode for all testing helps to protect against false
alarms and unintentional central station reporting.
Due to the loudness of the alarm, we suggest that you place
your fingers over the sounder vent while testing your alarm.
Caution:
Continuous exposure to the high sound level of this
alarm over an extended period of time may cause hearing loss.
The CO alarm provides three test modes:
•
Normal CO alarm test.
Conducts an internal self test and
tests the sounder.
•
RF communication test.
Tests the communication path
with the control panel.
•
CO alarm functional gas test.
Tests the functional
operation of the CO sensing element.
Normal CO alarm test
1. Wait at least 10 minutes after installation to test the CO
alarm.
2. Make sure the green Power LED is flashing for normal
operation.
3. Set the control panel to sensor test mode.
4. Press and hold the Test/Hush button until the unit beeps
once (approximately 1 second), and then release the
button. If the unit is operating properly, you will hear four
quick beeps, followed by 5 seconds of silence, followed by
four quick beeps.
5. At the control panel, exit sensor test mode.
Note:
This test mode does not test communication with the
control panel. You will receive a “Sensor Test Fail or Abort”
message when the control panel exits sensor test mode.
RF communication test
This section provides general guidelines for testing the CO
alarm with the panel. Refer to the specific panel documentation
for complete testing details.
Before testing, ensure that your control panel is set to sensor
test mode. Setting your panel to sensor test mode prevents an
alarm signal from being transmitted to the central monitoring
station (if you have a monitored system).
1. Wait at least 10 minutes after installation to test the CO
alarm.
2. Make sure the green Power LED is flashing for normal
operation.
3. Set the control panel to sensor test mode.
4. Press and hold the Test/Hush button until the unit beeps
two times (approximately 5 seconds), and then release the
button. If the unit is operating properly, you will hear four
quick beeps. The unit will send the RF test packets after
the first four beeps.
5. The control panel will beep and display the number of RF
packets received.
6. At the panel, exit sensor test mode.
CO inspection and functional gas test
(for qualified service technicians only)
Note:
Consult the most recent version of NFPA 720 for more
information regarding the requirement for functional testing of CO
alarms and/or your Local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
